Macy Gray… one of the most sensual and husky voices of the black funk, soul and R’n’B solar system, finally firmly back with her new album BIG. Its four years now since the previous album The Trouble With Being Me, but this time around our imposing American singer was allowed into the studio with grandmasters like will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake. That the outspoken Macy Gray still doesn’t put up with much is apparent in meaningful titles like Get Out, Treat Me Like Your Money… or of course in that well emphasised cover photo. Miss Gray also acts and works for charity these days, has her own clothing line as well as a school. But locally we know her best from stimulating number 1 hits such as I Try, Why Didn’t You Call Me and When I See You… Once you’ve experienced her live show, you know what soul-funk should sound like! Macy Gray? A must see!
